Medical Imaging Equipment Technology

A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology

Overview

Medical Imaging Equipment Technologists are a critical part of any healthcare organization. They’re the ones who install, maintain, repair, and troubleshoot diagnostic medical imaging equipment (fluoroscopy and radiography including X-rays and mammography). By keeping this equipment in proper working order, they help doctors make accurate diagnoses and often save lives.
